Cataldo Catholic School believes that the preschool program cultivates awareness and respect for God’s creation based on a Catholic foundation where students learn to become moral, ethical, and responsible members of society in a Christ-centered setting.

Acknowledging parents and families as primary educators, Cataldo Catholic School provides a preschool program that welcomes each family as partners in their child’s education. Cataldo Catholic School provides a preschool environment that nurtures the whole child, recognizing each child as an individual.  Through Catholic-based beliefs and teachings, the preschool provides a safe and developmentally appropriate environment that enhances learning, both socially and academically.

In accordance with our school’s Mission Statement and Preschool philosophy, each child will:

• Develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically in accordance with each child’s learning ability.

• Work to achieve their highest potential and to bring out their unique talents and gifts.

• Engage in developmentally appropriate activities that foster the building blocks for reading, writing, mathematics, as well as fine and gross motor skills.

• Engage in play that fosters the development of social-emotional skills. 

• Develop self-confidence and self-discipline.

• Be socially and academically ready for Kindergarten.
